A post on the Google Chromecast blog give the details about the addition of live streaming channels from some of the most popular free ad-supported television (FAST) services:
... we’re integrating access to free channels from Tubi, Plex and Haystack News directly into the Live tab, alongside the existing lineup of channels from Pluto TV. We’re also launching free built-in channels from Google TV that you can watch without even downloading or launching an app. In total, you can now browse over 800 channels and premium programming, including news channels from NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX. You can also tune in to channels from around the world, with programming in more than 10 languages including Spanish, Hindi and Japanese.
The post says it's available for Sony TVs. Well, if that's the case, it hasn't rolled out to mine yet. I saw the post and ran a check for updates on my TV. I did it again this morning, and I still haven't received the update.
Maybe I'm missing something. I'll keep playing with it. It looks like a good thing, but I've not seen content from the new services yet. My Streaming Life is good, but this just might make it better.
